DIsenchanted Montana Bovs.

Most of the cowboys looked upon their
coming to Montana to head cattle as the
mistake of their lives. The glowing
stories of thrilling adventures and sudden
wealth of the cowboys life which are
common in the east are in most cases re-
sponsible for their entering the guild, but
che reality is quite a different matter.
Many of the economical ones have been
enabled by their savings to return to their
eastern homes.
People who have not been through the
bad lands have but a faint conceE ION Of
the utter desolation and worthlessness Of
cowboys home. 1e d roasted IN sums
mer and frozen IN winter The lands can
never be used for anything but grazing,
and the distances are therefore something
immense One popularity of the country
makes rapid riding very difficult, not
to say dangerous, undertaking. The
earth is SO friable that a tiny watercourse
will speedily cut for itself deep gully.
or sscoolie, " as it is called, the depth of
which when filed with snow is entirely
problematical. A horseman who rides
with cowboys recklessness may sud-
denly find himself at the bottom of q six
or eight foot coolie, with his horse on top
of him, and no way Of getting out Ii he
happens to be still alive-save trnnelling
up to the head of the stream through the
snow. Then one of your broncho's feet
is as likely as not to sink suddenly two
feet down into coyotes hole when he is
going at furious pace. Result: His lsgs
snap off like pipe stem, and you are shot
through the air to point far beyond, and

scorches your throat as your swallow it;
there is little to eat, and that is hard to
get.-Tomah Enterprise.

Mrs, Langtry,s Body Servant.

Two years ago, when the Jersey Lily
visited San Francisco, her attention was
directed to a bright eyed native of Cam
ton, by name Wong Afoo. She thought
that it would be surprise to her New
York and British friends if she possessed,
among her other peculiar treasures, Chi
nese body servant. Negotiations were
entered into between Wong Afoo S father
and Mrs. Langtry, and the result was
that the boy entered into her service.
His father states that he allowed tho boy
to go under the condition that be was TO
be taught to read and write English.
How much tuition Wong Afoo received
in the rudiments of the language while
under the Lily's motherly care is prob
lem. 1t is learned that he accompanied
her east and also to England. When the
duties Of the stas~ required Mrs. Lang
try's presence, Wong Afoo went to the
theatre, but in what connection his duties
were utilized in the green room Wong is
not willing to state; neither win he lift
the veil which enshrouds the LiIy's sur
roundings. The boy, who is about 18
years of age, has just returned to this
city, his father having written to Mira.
Langtry to allow him to leave her en-
ploy, and he is now engaged in pursuing
his studies In far different atmosphere
than that in which he was accustomed to
in the Lily IS residence in New York city.

EXECUTION or WOMEN.
Methods of Capital Punishment In oldeu
Times-Various Laws.

Methods of Capital Punishment In OAden
Times-various Laws.
In the early days of England men were
too humane to execute women, but they
drowned them. During the reign Of
Henry III, however, a woman was
hanged, but as she did not die after being
on the gibbet for day, they cut her
down and she was granted a pardon.
Adultercds women and sorceresses were
drowned or smothered in mud. Stones
were fastened to their necks to prevent
their swimming, or they were sewed up
in sacks. Sometimes they were drowned
in company with a cat, dog and q
snake The Anglo-Saxons drowned wo-
men guilty of theft. The criminal was
thrown from the cliff or submerged In
the Tenth century woman was drowned
at London bridge. Women were pun
ished by drowning in Scotland. In 1899
Grissell Mathon was condemned by the
high court of Edinburgh s'to be taken to
the north lock and there drowned till she
be dead"
A memorable instance of drowning oc-
CURED at Bavaria, Oct. IA, 1885. Agnes
Bernaurian, wife of Duke Albert tho
Pious, was dropped off the bridge of the
city of Strasburg into the Danube, by
order of her father. She appears not
to have been put into sack, and her
limbs not to have been securely bound,
for she rose to the surface Of the water
and SWAN to the shore crying s'help, -
''help," but the executioner put long
pole into her hair and kept her down.
According to the Danish laws, women
were buried alive for theft, method Of
punishment not unknown in France. In
1881 Marote Duplas was scourged and
subjected to this cruel death, at Abbeville,
and in 1860 a woman named Perotte
Mauger, notorious thief and receiver of
stolen goods was, by order of the provost
of Paris, buried alive in front of the glib
bet in that city. In ancient German his
tory we read of female criminals being
inpaled in the mud and, in comparatively
recent years, the remains Of several bodies
have been found to prove the truth Of
this assertion. In early England cook
once poisoned fourteen persons. The au-
thorities did not believe they had pun
ishment sufficiently severe for her case,
so law was passed making her crime
punishable by being boiled to Death
The Earth.

A tall, fine looking man, clad in the garb
of wild westerner, strolled into the Fifth

A dude clad in dress suit stared at him
as if he were a wild beast. The westerner
stared back for moment until he had
looked the dude out of countenance, and
then walked over to the young swell and

Cancer a Local IDisease,

Cancer is essentially local disease and
can be cured by operation, in spite of re-
currence. Operation, when it does not
cure prolongs life and diminishes the
total amount of suffering. Operations
should be repeated as often as there is
any chance Of entirely removing recur-
rent growths. The earlier and the more
thoroughly the operation is performed the
better. The disease, when it recurs, is
generally Of nailder type than that of
the original growth, less painful and less
exhausting. Antiseptic surgery makes
more radical operations possible, with bet-
ter ultimate results than formerly OBJ
tanned. DIR. shrady in Medical Record.

wrinkles in the Face.

While wrinkles result from the natural
working of the system, they may also
be caused by perverted condition of the
system, as are pimples, blotches and boils.
Now the human face unlike that of
brutes- meant to be the mirror OF
the mind, the visible expression of every
passion, emotion and inmost feeling.
Herein is it's chief beauty. Hence its nu-
merous muscles and nerves, whereby it is
SO wonderfully adjusted to this end. But
muscles in constant or frequent exercise
increase in volume, strength and readi-
ness of action.
Hence habits of thought and feeling
become stamped ON the face, and we read
so easily the character of the proud, the
vain, the deceitful and the sensual man,
or of the kind, the calm, the energetic,
The frank, the candid and the honest
man.
But there is nothing like care and
worriment to plow burrows in the fore
head and these are badly marring the
faces of our American women. We pass
in the streets women of 80 whose fore
heads are more wrinkled than the brow
should be at TO- Some of these may
not have more cares than others, but
they unnecessarily yield to the tendency
to express them in the face.-Y Youth S

TEE JODGE'S Cash PUZZLE
In Behalf of the
GRANT MONUMENT FUND.
Use your Brains and Make Money.
Men, Women, Children, Everybody.

The Judge proposes to assist the Grant Monu-
ment Fund by organizing grand competition on
word building (making the largest number of
English words from given sentence by trans
posing and using letters to suit the purpose),
using for the theme the sentence ''Who will be
our next President ~ and offering Cash prizes to
successful competitors, each of whom will have
to pay Fifty (50) cents on presentation of his
competitive paper The money received will be
applied as follows:
Twenty-Five cents is at once credited to the
Grant Fund.
The remaining twenty five cents, after deduct
ing the legitimate expenses of advertising names
with their respective answers, etc., etc, will be
placed in common fund to be equally divided
among the six successful competitors, i. e., the
six persons sending in the largest lists of English
words (proper nouns included) made from the
sentence Who will be our next President ~
The magnitude of the prizes will depend on
the amount of money received or in other words
on the number of competitors. Communica-
tions open until February 49, 1887, 70 O'Clock.

Measuring the Queens Mouth

From DR.. -MdcdutdDS 'ItctoT'd."
a. Mr.. Gibson, r. A., told us of his visits to
Windsor when honored with sittings for his
admirable bust of the young Queen. On
first getting the commission and the COM
mand to attend at the castle, he was in much
anxiety and trepidation concerning his in
terview with royalty The very first half
hour put him perfectly at ease. He was
charmed by the gracious and affahle de-
meanOr both of the Queen and the Prince,
and he was surprised and delighted by the
wide and varied knowledge shown by the
Queen in conversation, for she talked
frankly on many subjects. At one Of the
sittings he said he wished to measure the
mouth. il her majesty would allow him.
ooh. certainly said the Queen, 'if l can
only keep it still and not laugh" The proposal
was apparently unexpected and 50 droll that
IL was some time before the Queen could
compose herself, 1nd only after repeatedly
laughing.
Another day he said he wished TO see her
majesty in evening dress. She came down
the stairs with the Prince, who accompanied
her. having like a fond young husband his
arm round his wife's neck, and said, point
ing to the shoulder, "Mr. Gibson, you must
give me this dimplen The only drawback
in the artists pleasant recollections of those
days was the disturbing presence OF dear
bright restless child, OF about ., VINO kept
dodging about with her doll. This was the
Princess Alice. Whether the Queen no
ticed the sculptors thoughts or merely as a
diversion. she said to the child, Go and
rive Mr.. Gibson your hand. The little thing
toddIed up and held up her hand, which the
artist took and kissed, after which there YVES
stiffness for n long time, and the artists at
tention was not disturbed. After the last
SITTING the Queen said: "Now, Mr.. Gibson,
shall have pleasure in showing you what is
worth seeing in the Castle; and the Queen
and Prince took trouble to bring TO his mo-
tice all that they thought would most inter
est an artist Mr.. Gibson seemed pleased 70
tell all these details, and laughed IN recalling
the Queens amusement ON first being asked
nermission TO measure her mouth, adding:
II measured also her height, to a line, and

A Hard Story TO Swallow,

Two boys were flying kites out on Kings
bury street yesterday afternoon. One Of the
lads, whose name was Yessup, called his
father out Of the house to watch the fight
lof the paper things. When about 400 yards
OF string had been paid out the Yessup boy
asked his father to write message and send
it up to the kite. The old man sat down and
wrote thus:
"Send some rain. YEssUP."
The message climed up the string. A bird
circling high in the cir winged its way TO
the bit Of paper, which it pecked viously.
An hour later the kite was hauled in by tho
boy. The paper was in tatters, the only
part OF the message remaining intact being
that portion Of the signature Yes Two
